[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just found this forum so I don’t know where to post this.  When did you know you were ready to start a family?

I just got back from my ob and she gave me a mini lecture that now is the time to start trying given my age and PCOS.  My husband and I do want kids but it has always been later when we’re older thing.  We’ve been married now for 5 years and have focused on our careers given we both were in school a while longer for masters/PhD programs. I guess that time has come but i don’t know.  Did anyone know?

Or is it really cliche- you’re never really ready but now is as good a time as any?

If your husband contributes to running the household and does not have to be reminded to pick up after himself, the dog, the guests, etc. and you have good 50/50 teamwork, go for it.  
But, if you are doing everything and all he does is work, go out to dinner, watch TV, sleep or gym, start asking some tough questions on how child raising will be handled. If he has unrealistic expectations that is a disaster. [/quote]
